Shorthairs

Weight : Weight-9–14lb (4–6.5kg)

These rare variations of the Oriental Shorthair have proven challenging for breeders to produce in their delicate hues. The first Cinnamon was a kitten born in the 1960s from a male Abyssinian and a female seal-point Siamese. Its coat had a striking, lighter, reddish-tinged shade of the deep brown Oriental coloring known as Havana, which inspired its breeder to develop a new line. Fawn Orientals, appearing slightly later, are even more diluted in color, with coats displaying a rosy or mushroom-pink hue, especially in sunlight.
